The Doomsday Book Records That Watton (Or Originally Wadetuna) Featured a Church, Manor House and Anglo-Saxon Settlement Tourist Information for Your Stay at The Willow House History: The Doomsday Book records that Watton (or Originally Wadetuna) featured a church, manor house and Anglo-Saxon settlement. The hare (wat) and the barrel (tun) Although speculative it is believed that because of the areas commercial ties to the rabbit/hare (wat) production, and the importance of the its principal industry was the manufacture of woollen cloth in Elizabethan times, the raw material being brought in barrels (tun) the nineteenth century derivative of wat being the local dialect word for hare, and ton for barrel, reflects the town name. The motif can now be seen both on the Clock Tower and as the weather vane. The Location and The Willow House: The clock tower of Watton was built in 1679 by Christopher Hey, a wealthy mercer. The tower was built to hold a fire warning bell following the 'Great Fire of Watton' that destroyed more than sixty properties in 1674. This early warning bell, known as 'Ting-Tang' sits in an ornate cupola on top of the tower. The Willow House, dates back from around 1556 and is the only thatched and one of the oldest buildings in Watton. Built on the western edge of the town. When the great fire took hold, blowing to the east, The Willow House survived. This was in 1674. The town was later re-developed: around and to the west of The Willow House. Watton is situated fairly equal distant from the surrounding coastal area, so on a good run you can get from Watton to all points from Kings Lynn round to Great Yarmouth in about an hour, so you can imagine how many attractions there are, for all tastes to visit and see. Some Information: We have compiled some things to do, for just an hour or two, or if you have time, a good few days of exploration: By foot, either car or bus, we believe some or all the following will be of some interest. Walking: If walking is one of your interests, many people use us as a stop over point when walking the Peddars Way trail: http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/peddarsway But you could just as well walk the parts immediately north and south of Watton and arrange either a pick up or a drop off so as to get as far as possible, in a stint. A good days walk south of the The Willow House will take you past St Peters church, Merton, on to Thompson and Thompson Water, this is owned and managed by Norfolk Wildlife Trust and is a shallow lake of 40 acres; which was artificially created in 1845 by the draining of a tributary of the River Wissey? Here the Peddars way briefly joins The Great Eastern Pingo Trail: http://www.countrysideaccess.norfolk.gov.uk/walk.aspx?section=1&id=25 this is an eight mile circuit that explores the eastern edge of the Brecks. The Battle Area, known as Stanford Training Area, which is the country's main battleground and amounts to 17,500 acres of unofficial nature reserve. This trail passes Cranberry Rough: http://www.forestry.gov.uk/forestry/INFD-6EYEV4 This provides a wide range of wetland habitats, which support an exceptionally rich diversity of wetland plants, insects and birds. This wetland site was formerly a lake known as Hockham Mere. It is now a 'Site of Special Scientific Interest'. With Great Hockham to the east, this would be another fine chance to break from the trail for a picnic in a pretty Brecks village. Now, back on the Peddars Way still heading south you will cross the A1075 at East Wretham, On southwards across the A 11 to Thorpe Woodlands across the river Thet, again a few miles to the east is East Harling, the home of The St. Georges Distillery, England’s only Whiskey Distillery, well worth a detour. They run tours most days followed by a tasting: http://www.englishwhisky.co.uk/ If this did not dissuade you from your path, it’s on to Rushford and Knettishall Heath Country Park. Here you will find a circular ‘Warren’ this might not be the first you warren you have come across on your trek, as rabbit ‘farming’ or Warrening was a massive industry from the mid 13th century though to the early 1900’s throughout the Brecks. You have now come to the start (or in this case) the end of the official Peddars way route. (Total Walk 14.5 miles) Thetford lies about 5 miles north west of here. There you will also find Thetford Priory, Castle hill earth works and one of the best preserved warren lodges and banks in the area, also the Little Ouse river trail. If you were to head North on the Peddars Way Trail out of Watton, this would pick up at Little Cressingham, past Great Cressingham, on to All Saints church at South Pickenham, through North Pickenham village. North across the A47 and the last leg of this journey along the Nar Valley way to South Acre where you will find St. Georges church. And finally, make sure you visit the Priory and Castle ruins at Castle Acre. (Total Walk: 11.7 miles). Places of Interest: A little further afield is Thetford Forest. A patchwork of pines, heathland and broadleaves providing the ideal setting for a day out and picnic, and a welcome refuge for a rich variety of animal and plant life. Many visitors are attracted by the peace and tranquillity of Thetford Forest as well as the wide range of recreation facilities. Go Ape: There is also ‘Go Ape’ http://www.goape.co.uk A tree top adventure park in the hart of the forest at High Lodge Forest Centre, Santon Downham, for those of a less sensitive disposition. This is also the venue where children can explore trails, use the play furniture and have fun on the large grass area. Grimes Graves: A little further north into the forest and you will be taken back in time to when ‘The Brecks’ was the flint capitol of Briton, which does not now sound too impressive, but back when EVERY useful tool was made of flint, most building used flint in one way or another, and then the prolific use of the flintlock pistols and rifles this made the area very significantly important, from the stone age though to the last century The Brecks also has the largest Neolithic flint mining site in Britain, at Grimes Graves: http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/server/show/nav.12454 Thetford Forest: Lynford Arboretum, and its Lakes in Thetford Forest Park, also has their own trails and attractions. Lynford Hall was the site of some of the filming of the popular 70’s sitcom ‘Dads Army’. Mundford is the nearest village, which is home to the Iceni Brewery: http://www.icenibrewery.co.uk . If you were to head north from here along the A1065 Munford To Swaffham Rd, across to your left, (west) there is the Village of Cockley Cley and its The Iceni Village which is a reconstruction of the type of village occupied by the British tribe, whom Boudicca was their queen some 2000 years ago: http://www.icenivillage.com/ There is also to be found the church of St. Mary. It is thought that this is one of the oldest churches in the country and that it may originally have been built during the time of the Augustine mission in 628AD. If you have small children a visit to Melsop Farm Park is a must, just 10 minutes by car is an indoor / outdoor interactive farm: http://www.melsopfarmpark.co.uk/ Swaffham: Heading north again this will bring you to the market town of Swaffham, or you may know it as ‘Market Shipborough,’ or the town that Kingdom, the TV series staring Stephen Fry was based. Have a look around and see if you can spot the central shooting scenes. You can also visit the Swaffham Ecotech Centre, where you can see the benefits of wind power and is an environmental education centre. Swaffham 1 includes a 65m high viewing platform, which has already been visited by over 50,000 people. The unique public viewing platform is situated just below the hub and can be reached by climbing a 300-step spiral staircase inside the tower: http://ecotech.org.uk/contacts.html Bodney Camp: On your return trip to Watton from Swaffham, along the B1108 will take you past Bodney camp, home to many of our country’s armed forces whilst on training manoeuvres, throughout the year, but in August it opens its doors for three weeks to the Household Cavalry, for training and fresh air for the horses. Near the end of their stay at Bodney, a free open day of horsy entertainment is provided for all who wish to attend, which is always very well subscribed to. Wayland Wood Country Park: Closer to Us If its just a gentle stroll is what you would prefer, walk or take the car to Wayland wood car park, (Less than a mile from the Willow House) and follow the trails set out for you, and whilst wondering through this ancient woodland you might be lucky enough to spot a Golden Pheasant. This is also the woods that inspired the Legendry tales of the ‘Babes in the Wood’ The Watton heritage trail is an organised snippet of local history that guides you around the town, more info can be found at the Wayland visitors centre, found at the western end of the High St.

  • Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office
    Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office This list summarises the Norfolk Record Office’s (NRO’s) holdings of parish (Church of England) registers and of transcripts and other copies of them. Parish Registers The NRO holds registers of baptisms, marriages, burials and banns of marriage for most parishes in the Diocese of Norwich (including Suffolk parishes in and near Lowestoft in the deanery of Lothingland) and part of the Diocese of Ely in south-west Norfolk (parishes in the deanery of Fincham and Feltwell). Some Norfolk parish records remain in the churches, especially more recent registers, which may be still in use. In the extreme west of the county, records for parishes in the deanery of Wisbech Lynn Marshland are deposited in the Wisbech and Fenland Museum, whilst Welney parish records are at the Cambridgeshire Record Office. The covering dates of registers in the following list do not conceal any gaps of more than ten years; for the populous urban parishes (such as Great Yarmouth) smaller gaps are indicated. Whenever microfiche or microfilm copies are available they must be used in place of the original registers, some of which are unfit for production. A few parish registers have been digitally photographed and the images are available on computers in the NRO's searchroom. The digital images were produced as a result of partnership projects with other groups and organizations, so we are not able to supply copies of whole registers (either as hard copies or on CD or in any other digital format), although in most cases we have permission to provide printout copies of individual entries.

  • Sacred Tieart Cfmrcfi
    Sacred tieart Cfmrcfi 1985 1985 is bound to go down as the year of anniversaries for the diocese of East Anglia, as you know I have celebrated the fortieth of my priesthood, and now you are celebrating sixty years of the Church of the Sacred Heart and St. Margaret Mary. Anniversaries make us look back on the years that have gone by, hopefully with much gratitude. Yes, together we give thanks for the sixty years of the presence of your church. Its presence is a sign of the love and forgiveness of God. Cardinal Hume once said to a group of young people that whenever they saw a church, they were to see it as a symbol that God wanted them. He is so right! God wants you and me to be, in the world today, witnesses of his love, bearers of his forgiveness and truth. Whenever you come to the Church of the Sacred Heart and St. Margaret Mary, to celebrate the Sacraments of Christ's love, remember that what you receive you are called to share. May the Church in Dereham continue to blossom and grow in the service of Christ. Yours devotedly, +Alan C. Clark Bishop of East Anglia The first record of Catholics in East Dereham is in 1834, although undoubtedly there would have been Catholics in the area before that year; three were recorded at Gressenhall and five in East Dereham. One of these, a Mrs. Skerritt is recorded in "The Norfolk Diary1, written by Rev. Benjamin Armstrong, as having borrowed a book from him.
